Resident visa

This visa has several names, including a temporary resident permit, a temporary resident visa, or a VITAS (Visa Izin Tinggal Terbatas). It covers applicants who want to stay in Indonesia for a limited period for work, study or domestic purposes. This period can be extended indefinitely, providing your best pathway to permanent residence.

Standard Duration

The temporary stay permit is a single-entry visa that can be granted for up to 12 months. It is issued by the Immigration Office in Indonesia and remains valid for three months from the date of issue. Extensions are at the discretion of the Immigration Office, as in the case of students who have not yet completed their course of study.

Indonesia immigration for work

Foreign nationals wanting to work in Indonesia are normally restricted to the 60-day period allowed by the employment visa. To obtain a temporary stay permit the applicant will require several support documents. These include an invitation or letter of support from a sponsor or employer and evidence.
